Bilibo

Bilibo ~ an exciting product from the Physical Play section of the Curious Kids range.

The best toy you could give a little kid - a toy that is something different every time they play with it. You may well have seen a child playing with an empty box - but to them it's not a box. It's a plane, a car, a house, a mountain, a magic cave......it can be whatever they want it to be. Bilibo is a durable box a fantastic addition to a child's play. Link to the following page to see children at play with bilibos.



"Bilibo - no lights, sound or batteries - all you add is imagination.

Bilibo is a new kind of toy - the elementary shell leaves room for a child's imagination. Instead of imposing a specific play pattern, Bilibo is open for a wide range of interpretations and encourages children to invent their own games, to play and have fun in an active and creative way. Indoors and out-doors, the sand-pit, at the water or even in the snow - Bilibo is full of surprises.

Made from high-density polyetheylene, non-toxic, shock and fade resistant, 100% recyclable."

School Games Night

Testimonials for a Curious Kids Maths Game Night:

"On the 2nd of September 2008, St Louis’ Maths Olympics Students helped to organise and run the Curious Kids Games Night. Different students are assigned to different games and parents and younger students play them, while some of the Year 5 and 6 students instructed them. There were many different games for different age levels and different mathematical areas.

These games were extremely enjoyable and involved a lot of thinking and challenges, which are essential for young development. The games make excellent additions to a classroom or household that children can enjoy while exercising their brains. The Curious Kids Games are perfect for kids as they are fun and educational. They are efficient in improving mathematical skills and a great way to have fun. Kids will find these games to be exciting and extremely fun to play all the time."


Written by Kallin and Matilda, Year 6, St Louis de Montforts.

"Our school decided to increase the profile of mathematics within our community, so we embarked on a Curious Kids’ games night! The evening was a huge success as some of the Year 5/6 students organised and ran the night. Everyone from toddlers, students, parents and TEACHERS had a ball!! It was great to see some of the 5/6 students take on the responsibility of a leadership role, with parents commenting about the brilliant job they did with explaining the games. The night brought mathematics to the forefront of the community, with everyone leaving understanding that maths is FUN!!

I would strongly recommend all schools to hold a Curious Kids’ Games Night!"
